Rode rigid & front sus hard tails most of my riding. First time riding an actual dh bike on an actual course, I had 0 problem hanging with my friends that were current pro's at the time. It honestly felt very weird being on a dh bike with 29" wheels. You don't have to do much of anything, you just start going and the bike really does the riding. Honestly feels fake & disconnected, if that makes sense.
its true i use to be rllly bad at riding on my fulll sus and then it broke and i had no funds so i rode the dj and did bigger jumps then on my full sus and got more steezy and then 8 weeks pass and my bikes fixed and now i can whip. well
I'm 12 years old and I've been riding hardtails and bmx all my life , I got my first full suspension mtb yesterday that I got for 225 quid off Facebook marketplace and just after like 3-4 hours riding it it feels insane and I'm really looking forwards to pushing myself to the limits and progress my mtb skills . After riding hardtails on teck and a few jumps I've learnt how to pick right lines but now that I've got my new bike I can ride those same lines and new ones but really send it without worrying. My old bike was also holding me back from improving because it had lots of issues, the fork was on the edge of snapping and just didn't really give me the confidence to learn new jumps and trails but like I said now that I've got a new bike I can pass those fears and handle my full sus amazing
I know that im really late but i hope someone saw this so they might pick up a full sus , improve, and have a blast🎉
Even just riding short travel in the bike park or a hard tail definitely takes your game up a level. Less suspension makes you ride worse which makes you have to get better 😂
For me I just have a hard tail it’s not a dj but it does have 26” but there’s no pump tracks near me so yeah and theres no way my parents would by me another bike
Id never ridden real mtb trails just pumptrack, skatepark and dirt jumps on my dj then first time on a full sus on a red mtb trail i was able to keep up with an enduro racer who has been riding for 15 yrs (my freinds dad)

Hardtail or die 💪
I'm a bmx racer
But bmx helps my mountain biking
And mountain biking helps my gravel riding
And gravel riding helps my road riding
And road riding helps my indoor riding
So bmx helps my indoor riding
trying to learn your first 360 on a big boy dh bike sounds genuinely impossible x3
I ride both
It does work.
Umm actually DJs do have suspension, on the fork usually
It’s almost like BMX racing and Pump Track riding is a pressure cooker for mastery
I’m too broke for a duelie

Nah thats 100% true bro

Dirt jumpers do have suspension only front though, and it does help
A lot
I automatically whip now cuz of my Dj

i only ride dj for street,skate,jumps, and some light trails but a dj is he way to learn
Bro has Bluetooth pedals
i don't have a full sus, i got a dj as my first so i learn faster and feel every error
I know what skatepark you’re riding at. Would love to meet you
Best one on a buget?

It’s so fun on a dj
It's true but a DJ have suspension just really stiff
I rode a bmx and than had a full suspension and have gotten a lot better enough to buy a custom bike
